Abandoned Route 66 Gas Station, Campground...and APACHE DEATH CAVE!

Exploring an abandoned gas station and campground at the side of old Route 66 in Arizona. Did this place go out of business because of Interstate 40 being built? Or....is it CURSED?? Come to find out, it was also the site of a HIDEOUS and VERY GRISLY massacre of Apache Indians who had angered the wrong band of Navajo. The Apache hid out in a cave underground, but the Navajo figured out where they were....and killed them all!!! The cave is still there to this day, and anyone brave enough can go down there and find out for themselves if it's haunted....or not! Let me do the dirty work for you, while you sit home and watch from the safety of your sofa. YIKES!!!

A modern service station was built at Two Guns in 1963, and in the late 1960s a motel, western tavern, reptile exhibit, and new zoo were added. Later, a Shell service station was built and a KOA campground opened. The decline began in earnest in the mid 1970's as the Energy Crisis and repeated recessions occurred.

I'm sure that you're aware that I've watched pretty much all of your videos multiple times. This one is absolutely my favorite! You are a great lady doing great things. Keep it up!

I can tell you that I did swim in that pool when I was a kid & yes it was a KOA KAMP! The logo shape is clear in the sign. Then there is the K instead of a C in camp. Also, the office/gift shop had a specific shape that was KOA all the way in the good old days traveling route 66! I don't remember much about the caves, but I do remember thinking it was better than Disneyland or Knox Berry Farm because it didn't have those long lines! Nice piece & I'm kind of sad to see it in ruins....but I guess that's just the way the cookie crumbles!

Two Guns and Twin Arrows were places I stopped when the old highway was still in use. Thanks for the memories.

You are one GREAT narrator and story teller.

In Feb & Mar of 1984 my late wife and myself drove from Los Angeles to Mass. We took our time and made a lot of stops along the way. We took I 40 and Route 66 of what was there at the time. We totally loved AZ and NM. Beautiful!

What a great story teller you are!

Hi WH I've actually seen the Apache Death Cave before but not to that depth. Opps, pardon the pun! I believe that most of those stacked stones, glyphs and the stone building on top are native American artifacts are genuine. The lion cages, garage, and other contemporary buildings are not. It was nice to see all the clean up being done on Two Guns. Whom ever is picking up all the trash is doing a good job. Your singing is really good one of these days someone is going to discover you.. I don't know how you do it. When you went back in the cave It was really exciting. I was really happy to see all the twists and turns. That glyph on the ceiling is sacred. They still use the caves for ceremonies. Gave me an uplift. Although you got in there so deep it was creepy! Thanks for the blog HB (Jim) BCC Az Still got some mine stuff to show you I don't think has ever been seen before if you make it here!

Since the campground building looked like a K.O.A. (before you went to it), I googled "Two Guns KOA campground". Several articles came back saying that it was active from the 1960's to the 1980's. Hope that gives a little perspective. Love your videos.

Another great video Sarah, that was so creepy when you were exploring the cave, love your videos

WH-another fantastic video! I remember Two Guns in 1957 being with my parents and started going thru the area again in the early 70s . I still go out old 66 when I go out West-I live in Fla. now, but plan on moving to Bull Head City soon! Take Care!
